Birthday girls

Woo-hoo! It hasn't been months, or even weeks! Now don't get too excited, this is still a work in progess for me! We had such a busy month. My parent's anniversary, our anniversary, Mother's Day, our sweet girl's birthday, then my own birthday. *pant, pant* And we still have money left! Here's some pics for this month's festivities (forgive the backward order, I'm too lazy right now to turn it around):

My birthday, taken at Kanpai


Our 4 year old's birthday, in our backyard (we had a big cookout, and a big cake - Thanks, Grandma!)


Her birthday at preschool


Riding a horse at a church activity


Mother's Day - she "hand"-made me an apron at preschool!


So it was a busy month, but very happy and very rewarding. I especially had a great Mother's Day, and felt so many happy feelings and just love being a mom. I am so blessed to have such a great family.

I'm not too much of a blogger, am I?

I love that people have an outlet like a blog to post their feelings and let others see what they're up to, but for some reason, I just haven't really gotten into it yet. I'm like a "once every 6 months" kind of blogger, when it's been forever or I just really love a picture that I took. I want people to know how we're doing, but I let life get in the way, and I feel really bad that people are missing my little girl grow up. Now that our family is expanding, I want to share more. I'm 12 weeks pregnant, and slowly getting over the "morning" sickness, although I haven't actually been sick once. Our sweet little girl will be 4 this week! My dear husband is doing great at work, although he comes home with a new little cut or burn or splinter almost every day. We're trying to sell our small 2-bedroom house and find something, ANYthing bigger. That's us. Here's a few recent pics, so you can see what we look like now:

She just loves bounce houses!


At the park (Milliken)(have I mentioned how much I LOVE my camera?)


Okay, just a taste of our family. Hopefully it won't be another 6 months before I add pictures of our sweet 4 year old this week!
